Detroit-based Children's Hospital of Michigan opened a neuro-neonatal intensive care unit, the first of its kind in the state, according to The Oakland Press.
The six-bed unit will offer neurological assessments, diagnostics, neuroprotection therapies and neurodevelopmental care.
"We are excited to join other select premier children's hospitals throughout the country in establishing the NeuroNICU program," said Girija Natarajan, MD, co-chief division of neonatology, clinical operations and education at Children's Hospital of Michigan and Hutzel Women’s Hospital. "This program is aimed at ensuring preterm and term newborns at risk for brain injury and future developmental problems are meticulously cared for by a team of specialists."
